Abstract: The present invention relates to a process as well
as to the related equipment for the production of strips,
or of substantially thin pieces of tenderized meat, which
are intended as ingredients for high-tenderness meat
products in order to form a basic attribute of
acceptability for the consumer, particularly because of
the high sensorial quality perceived by the same consumer
in chewing. Said process consists in subjecting the
pieces of meat -advantageously cut in a preparatory
device - to the pressing and tightening action of a
tenderizing mechanical equipment, which changes their
shape by submitting them to flattening sliding motions in
several directions, in order to obtain a geometric shape
like thin sheets of meat of complete tenderness and
friability with both a higher nutritive quality and
market value.

Abstract: L'invention concerne de nouvelles variantes de protéases obtenues à partir de séquences d'ADN de protéases naturelles ou de protéases non humaines recombinées. Les protéases variantes sont généralement obtenues par modification in vitro d'une séquence d'ADN précurseur codant pour la protéase naturelle ou recombinée en vue de produire la substitution de plusieurs résidus d'acides aminés dans la séquence d'acides aminés d'une protéase précurseur. L'invention concerne des variantes de protéase qui contiennent des substitutions d'acides aminés à une ou plusieurs positions de résidus, de sorte que la substitution modifie la charge à cette position pour la rendre plus négative ou moins positive par rapport à une protéase précurseur, et par conséquent la variante de protéase est plus efficace dans un système à faible concentration de détergent qu'une protéase précurseur.

Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for a transmission, according to the
present invention, comprises a regulator valve (31), a plurality
of control valves (34, 35, 45), a restrictor (41), a bypass oil
passage (61), a bypass closing valve (42), and a signal pressure
generating valve (48). The regulator valve regulates oil
discharged from a hydraulic pump driven by a motor to produce line
pressure. The plurality of control valves control an operation
of the transmission using the line pressure. The control valves
include at least one electric control valve. The restrictor is
formed on a discharge oil passage which is connected to the
regulator valve. The bypass oil passage connects the upstream
side and the downstream side of the restrictor while bypassing
the restrictor. The bypass closing valve is closable the bypass
oil passage by receiving oil pressure produced when the electric
control valve breaks down. The signal pressure generating valve
generates a signal pressure which corresponds to one of oil
pressure on the upstream side of the restrictor and an oil pressure
difference between the upstream side and the downstream side when
the bypass oil passage is closed. Accordingly, the regulation
of line pressure by a regulator valve is not influenced for
generating signal pressure corresponding to the speed of the motor
and controlling oil pressure when failure occurs.

Abstract: Cell array circuitry (20) includes a cell array
(22) made up of a plurality of current-source cells (2)
arranged in rows and columns. 
     The cells of the array are assigned respective
ordinal positions in a predetermined selection sequence
conforming, for example, to a so-called "magic square".
The assigned ordinal positions are such as to tend to
equalise the respective sequence-position sums for
different rows of the array and/or to tend to equalise
the respective sequence-position sums for different
columns of the array, where the sequence-position sum
for a row or column is determined by summing the
respective ordinal positions of the cells in the row or
column concerned. Switch circuits (4 1  to 4 16 ) select
those cells whose assigned ordinal positions are less
than an applied value (e.g. 3). Respective currents
produced by the selected cells are accumulated as an
output current (I A ) on a summing path (A). 
     In such cell array circuitry the effects of graded
and symmetrical errors within the cell array are
reduced. Such cell array circuitry is suitable for
use, for example, in a digital-to-analog converter
(Figure 5). Other embodiments (Figures 19-24) relate
to the use of plural cell arrays to reduce the effects
of such errors.

Abstract: A method of implanting a threaded tapered screw into a substrate having a hardness
less than the hardness of the screw comprises: (a) drilling a pilot hole with a drill having
substantially the same taper as the taper of the tapered screw, so as to provide a pilot hole
having no threads therein; (b) inserting the tapered screw into the pilot hole (preferably by
merely dropping the screw into the pilot hole); and then (c) further advancing the tapered
threaded screw into the pilot hole. The method requires only a minimal amount of strength to
insert the screw into the hole, is preferably used to secure a bioabsorbable screw within bone,
is very quickly and efficiently done without any extra step of tapping or cutting threads within
the hole, invades or disrupts the bone structure only minimally, and requires no screw-holding
forceps for stabilizing the screw. The tapered threaded bioabsorbable screw is self-centering
and self-aligning and is itself a novel tapered screw especially suitable for use in orthopedics
for implantation into bone. The screw has a taper and preferably has threads having rounded
crests, has a slot for ease of insertion, has a single thread pitch, and is bioabsorbable.

Abstract: A method of monitoring an individual's interactions, by recording a
value of an interaction parameter of the individual (such as
conversational speech) using a measurement device, storing the value of
the interaction parameter with an associated geographic coordinate, and
generating a report, including the value of the interaction parameter and
the associated geographic coordinate. The report can further include a
timeframe associated with the particular value of the interaction
parameter. The global positioning system (GPS) can be used to provide
the geographic data. The directional orientation (attitude) of the
individual may further be measured and used to facilitate selection of
one or more other subjects as recipients of the communication (i.e., when
the individual is facing one or more of the subjects). Analysis and
report generation is accomplished at a remote facility which supports
multiple measurement devices, so each device sends a unique identifier
which distinguishes the particular measurement device.
